Product Description

Excited to try doodle notes but need a product that will fit inside your interactive notebooks? Then Doodle Note Brochures are perfect for you!

Research shows that students who sketch, color, or doodle while listening to instruction tend to have better recall. These Doodle Note Brochures combine coloring, note taking, examples, and creative visual triggers to help students remember mathematical concepts.

So much of higher level math requires a solid ability to plot correctly on the coordinate grid. The ability to plot ordered pairs (and eventually equations and inequalities) goes a long way towards allowing students the freedom to pursue higher mathematics with the comfort in knowing their coordinate grid skills are solid. This Doodle Note Brochure contains notes and visuals to assist students in finding the distance between points on a coordinate grid as well as plotting polygons and using distances for some basic coordinate geometry.

Also included is the output practice page (2 to a page) which includes more practice plotting polygons and using distances to find area.

I simply have my students pick up their page on their way into class. After bell work they can fold and begin coloring the front of their brochure. My only requirements are that students must listen, they must take all applicable notes, and they must stop coloring/doodling when I am finished teaching. They are welcome to finish coloring and decorating after their classwork is complete or at home/in their free time.

I typically give students a few extra problems to complete that they work out on the right side of their notebooks.

Project the template onto your board, screen using a projector or Elmo, or use Powerpoint or your Smart Board software. I cut and paste into ActivInspire and write directly on my smartboard.

More are added daily! If you have a request for a topic, please contact me. I can have it for you asap!
